Rouladina Apartments, Stalos, Crete 

these crete apartments with pool are perfect for holidays on the beach!

Perched on the hillside, 500 metres from sandy Stalos beach and set amongst a patchwork of green vineyards, this is the property for those looking for family Crete Apartments with pool with a touch of comfort and where impeccable attention is paid to the smallest detail.

Ever since they were first introduced to our programme , our Rouladina Crete Apartments with pool  have  proved consistently  popular with our clients, who  praise  the high standards, warm welcome and genuine hospitality of the owners, Manolis and Dimitra.

family crete apartments with pool  - attractive pool and sun terraces!

There are a total of three spacious, three bedroom apartments, two apartments with two bedrooms and one smaller apartment with one bedroom. All these Crete Apartments are air conditioned, have their own telephones and share the sparkling 10m x 5m swimming pool, surrounded by sun terraces with pretty flower beds and splashes of bougainvillaea adding a vivid touch of colour. Behind the apartments, vineyards stretch away up the quiet hillside, whilst from your balcony or the poolside, the blue sea beckons beyond the dark green vines.

excellent crete apartments with pool  - mini-markets and restaurants only a short stroll away!

There is a choice of three tavernas within a very short stroll, the nearest of which, opened in 2009 and run by the enthusiastic Tzortakis family, with Mum in the kitchen and the rest of the family waiting at table is conveniently just up the road.  There are two small mini markets no more than  100 metres away. A further choice of tavernas and mini markets are strung along the coast road 500 metres away, from where there is also a regular bus service to Chania and Western Crete.

All these Crete Apartments with pool  have an open plan living area with sofa and easy chairs, plus coffee and dining tables. A pine breakfast bar separates the well equipped kitchens with ample cupboard space and work surfaces, plus full electric cookers, sensibly large fridge freezers and microwave ovens. 

A particular feature of the property is the large picture windows or floor to ceiling patio doors at the front of each apartment, making the most of the sea views, whilst double glazing keeps the heat outside where it belongs. For those families with an extra person to accommodate, the sofa in the living room converts into a single bed. All apartments have their own private balconies or terraces complete with patio furniture.

Manolis and Dimitra, the proud owners of these Crete Apartments with pool  are Greek Canadians, who finally decided to return to their Cretan roots along with their daughters Roula and Dina. They have their own apartment upstairs and take care of the property and their guests with a perfect combination of discreet Canadian efficiency and genuine Cretan hospitality. Be warned  that Dimitra makes the most delicious cakes and other Cretan specialities which she loves her guests to try, so if you are intent on keeping in shape during the holiday, it may take a little more discipline than you counted on.

Especially useful on departure day,  a  reception area tucked away to the rear has 3 guest toilets plus a shower and a storeroom for luggage so you can enjoy your holiday right up to the last minute. There is also a washing machine here for communal use.

Sue Thurston and Terry Henken "Many years ago (23) we first went to Crete and fell in love with the island and its people straight away  those feelings have never changed to this day!  There is so much to do and see. The mountains, villages and archaeological sites are a delight; there is something for everyone of all ages. On our first visit we stayed in the sleepy beachside resort of  Stalos and have returned each September since and even for Easter and Christmas.  Over the years we have seen it grow into a larger resort which has still retained that village touch.  Whilst the resort has grown nothing has been spoilt, a good selection of tavernas, restaurants and beach bars. Easy walks to the upper village and beyond, the friendly locals who are only too pleased to stop and talk. Twelve or more years ago we went to stay at Rouladina apartments and met Manolis and Dimitra the owners and perfect hosts. Their apartments are well kept and so peaceful and just a short walk to the beach and tavernas so whether it's tasting Dimitra's fresh baked Walnut cake or checking out Manolis wine or raki whilst relaxing by the pool, these are just some of the little things that makes the holiday here so great and not forgetting the people you meet year on year that become friends."

Rouladina Apartment 4, 3 bedrooms

Situated to the far side of the apartments just beyond the pool, three steps lead down to a small private terrace with an entrance door into the living room. From here an archway leads to the dining area, beyond which is the breakfast bar and kitchen. On one side of the dining area is a twin bedroom with windows to the front and an ensuite shower room. To the other side, a sliding door leads to an inner hallway with a bathroom shared by one twin bedroom to the rear and one double bedroom to the front with a further small private terrace.

This apartment is notable for the charm of its private tree-shaded terrace and close proximity to the pool, making it particularly attractive for families who like to keep a relaxed eye on their water babies.

Location of Rouladina Apt 4 **
Stalos, Crete
7 km west of Chania, the village of Lower Stalos fringes a long, sandy beach with the island of Theodorou, said to be a petrified sea monster, rising from the sea just a short distance off shore. 1km inland the small village of Upper Stalos nestles serenely on the hillside amidst a patchwork of vineyards and olive groves. Here you will find a slower pace of life as well as a couple of the best local tavernas in the area, both certainly worth a visit or two! ...More about Stalos >>

Comments on Rouladina Apt 4 **

Julia Allan - Sep 2009

"Great location, wonderful owners."

- Aug 2008

"Review Rating : 5/5 "Great Apartments, Great Holiday!" "We have just returned from a wonderful 2 weeks' holiday at Rouladina Apartments. This was our first visit to Crete with our two boys aged 15 and 8 and we were certainly not disappointed. The Apartments are comfortable and clean and in an ideal position away from the bustle of the Tavernas and shops and beach but within easy strolling distance. The photos on the website really do give an accurate idea of the properties and surroundings. The beach is lovely and we spent plenty of time there as well as in the Apartments' pool. The grounds of the Apartments are very attractive and there is plenty of shade available. The owners, Manolis and Dimitra are lovely and we were given a wonderful welcome with home made cakes and Raki! Manolis also regularly gave us produce from his small allotment which he harvested in the mornings. There is maid service every day except Sunday and the sheets and towels are changed twice a week. The area itself is ideal, not too busy but having a good choice of Tavernas and small shops. We hired a car and enjoyed a couple of trips out to Falassarna (North west, about 45 mins drive) and through the mountains to Elafonisi, Southwest about 2hrs drive). If you don't hire a car there is a regular bus service into the main town of Chania, about 20 mins drive and there is also a great water park within about a half hour drive where we spent a very enjoyable day. The weather was fabulous, clear blue skies and hot sunshine every day. We would thoroughly recommend Crete as a holiday destination and these apartments particularly. We are hoping to book again for next year! August 2008" "
